Amplification type: Active

Diagonal size: 54.1 in
Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 2000000:1
Diagonal size: 50 in
Processor: Intel Core i7-920 (2.66 GHz)

The bottom line:Dell's new 16:9 Studio XPS 16 adds upscale extras such as a leather trim and a backlit keyboard to a fairly standard set of components, without jacking up the price (too much).
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.13 GHz)
RAM installed: 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.2 GHz)
RAM installed: 3 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Hard drive size: 250 GB
The bottom line:The Oppo BDP-83 is an outstanding universal disc player with excellent performance on Blu-rays and DVDs and lightning-fast operational speed, but most home theater fans will balk at the high price.
DVD type: Blu-Ray disc player
Form factor: Tabletop
Remote control type: Remote control
The bottom line:Gateway's affordable multimedia laptop, the MD7818u, has some high-end design touches, but is a little too big for travel.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2 GHz)
RAM installed: 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Hard drive size: 500 GB
The bottom line:For a budget-priced 17-inch laptop, the Dell Studio S17-162B has many features of a more expensive system, but also a few notable omissions.
The bottom line:Our favorite budget gaming laptop returns as the Gateway P-7805u FX, and while it's still the best deal going in mobile gaming, we're bummed the screen resolution has been dumbed down to sub-HD levels.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.26 GHz)
The bottom line:The massive Asus W90Vp-X1 won't win any design awards, but its mobile gaming performance is tough to beat.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2800 MHz)
RAM installed: 6 GB DDR II SDRAM
The bottom line:For a price below that of ultra hard-core machines, the MSI GT725-212us provides considerable gaming power, a 1080p 17-inch screen, and Blu-ray in a package that's relatively portable.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad (2.00 GHz)
RAM installed: 4096 MB DDR II SDRAM
The bottom line:As an above-average Blu-ray-playing laptop with impressive looks and good under-the-hood power, Sony's Vaio FW480J/T is a solid portable multimedia machine.

Hard drive size: 400 GB
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core (2.16 GHz)
The bottom line:Toshiba improves on last year's excellent Best Buy Blue Label laptop by slashing the price while serving up a nearly identical machine. Long battery life, a lengthy warranty, and a backlit keyboard highlight Toshiba's winning Satellite E105-S1602.
The bottom line:If you can forgo a DVD burner on your laptop, the Dell Studio S1440-022B offers a ton of features and a slick design that should make it a frontrunner for any student doing their back-to-school shopping.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.1 GHz)
The bottom line:As a highly configurable budget-range black box, Dell's Inspiron 1545 laptop line can be a good value--as long as you don't pile on the upgrades.
The bottom line:Toshiba's slick entry into the thin-and-light laptop world is timed for Windows 7, but if you're going to get one, make sure it's the dual-core T135-S1310, and not its single-core cousin.
Processor: Intel Pentium (1300 MHz)
RAM installed: DDR3 SDRAM
